What type of light do glow sticks react to?
Glow sticks are a chemical light.
How do single use glow sticks work?
Disposable glow sticks utilize a chemical reaction to produce their familiar green glow. A glass capsule inside the plastic tube releases a phenyl oxalate solution into the surrounding hydrogen dioxide solution, and once they are mixed well, they react with each other and produce light energy. It is possible to manipulate the color of the glow stick depending on the chemicals used.
How do glow sticks capture light?
Glow sticks do not "capture" light. The light is produced by a chemical reaction. See the related link for a more in-depth discussion.
What is the effect of temperature on glow sticks?
The warmer conditions the glow stick is in the brighter it will light up but for a short amount of time . However, on low temperature conditions the glow stick will light up for a longer time period but it will not light up as bright
Does gray glow in black light?
Light gray or silver generally do. Dark gray tends to not light up like white or silver do. Most light colors glow a little under black light, though.
Which fishes produce their own light?
The light fish, or more commonly known as the glow fish.
What is the difference between stars and animals that produce light?
Stars produce light by "burning" hydrogen in a nuclear fusion, whereas some animals produce light when chemical compounds mix together to produce a glow
Are glow worms a natural source?
I believe so...they produce their own light.
Is argon gas is used to produce coloured glow in glass tubes?
Discharge tubes with argon produce a violet light.
What are 3 sources of energy that can cause light emissions?
Chemical energy will produce the light in a firefly, or in a hand-held glow tube. Electrical energy will produce the light in a light bulb. Heating something up to a high enough temperature will produce light. Burning a material may produce light.
Is the substance inside a glow stick xenon?
no, xenon is a noble gas which only produces light when electricity is passed through it. glow sticks work by combining 2 chemicals that produce light via a chemical reaction
Why do fire flies glow?

How do street lights produce light?
They produce light by using mercury vapor :D=======================Answer #2:Some (not many) pass electric current through mercury vapor, causing it to glow violet.Some pass electric current through sodium vapor, causing it to glow yellow.Some pass electric current through a thin wire, causing it to heat and glow ...a process is identical to that in every incandescent light bulb in your house.Some burn natural gas.
What are some examples of chemical energy being converted into light energy?
A perfect example is a common glow stick. In a glow stick, phenyl oxalate, fluorescent dye, and hydrogen peroxide mix to produce a chemiluminescent reaction (generating light from chemical energy).
